Lifestyle risk factors are crucial in the development and growth of oral cancer, which is yet an important issue for the public. Research offers a via evaluation of the connection between oral cancer results, such as cancer survival, recurring, and therapeutic reactions, and a variety of risk behaviors, involving eating betel nuts, drinking alcohol, using tobacco, and practicing poor dental hygiene. Through patient surveys and medical record monitoring, a comprehensive data collection was conducted on around 250 patients, 170 of whom were male and 80 of whom were female. The result based on the Analysis of variance (ANOVA) test demonstrates that, compared to individuals with independent risk behaviors, those with numerous risk habits had much worse predictions. Particularly, drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes were linked to a lower chance of surviving and sooner resurgence. Furthermore, it was shown that behavioral treatments aimed at improving dental hygiene and quitting risky habits increased the effectiveness of therapy. The research emphasizes the significance of focused global healthcare initiatives to reduce risk factors and enhance results for patients.
